The Washington Nationals are set to bring up outfielder Dylan Crews, the No. 3 prospect in Major League Baseball, for his debut on Monday night against the New York Yankees. The 22-year-old Crews, drafted No. 2 overall by Washington last summer, has excelled in the minor leagues, batting .272 with 13 homers and 68 RBIs in 99 games this season for Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester.
Crews will join 21-year-old James Wood in Washington's young outfield, as the Nationals continue their rebuilding efforts. General manager Mike Rizzo has been focused on developing young talent, trading away key players like Trea Turner and Max Scherzer in recent years.
